Person inj in clsn betw car and 2/3-whl pwr veh, sequela

This code signifies a long-term health condition or complication resulting from a past traffic accident involving a car and a motorcycle, moped, or other two- or three-wheeled powered vehicle. It indicates that the patient is presenting for treatment of a residual effect directly attributable to that specific collision.

Use this code when documenting the diagnosis for a patient seeking care for a chronic injury, disability, or other sequela that originated from a car-versus-powered-two-or-three-wheeler traffic accident. This applies to follow-up visits for conditions like chronic pain, scar tissue complications, nerve damage, or limited mobility stemming from the original incident.

• Always assign an additional code(s) to specify the nature of the sequela (e.g., chronic pain, fracture nonunion, scar contracture).
• Ensure documentation clearly links the current condition to the past traffic accident.
• This code is for the person injured, regardless of their role (driver, passenger) in either vehicle.
